About Me

When navigating challenges like depression, anxiety, OCD, or relationship issues, finding clear support is vital. With over twenty four years of experience, Dr Smita Vasudev helps individuals and couples develop practical strategies. As a USA-certified CBT practitioner, she provides a structured yet compassionate approach. She guides clients to understand their patterns and build lasting well-being. Her extensive expertise ensures a strong match for those seeking effective, grounded support.

Approach

Clear support looks like focused, practical work: sessions move at a steady, collaborative pace where we set small, achievable targets and track progress. I see clients in Jalandhar and online, working in English, Hindi/Urdu or Punjabi to keep interventions accessible and culturally relevant. Therapy blends CBT skills with guided visualisation and coaching-style homework—short experiments, thought records and practice between sessions—to interrupt unhelpful cycles and build resilience. This approach suits those seeking clear, evidence-based tools and measurable forward movement.
